Dying Light 1 vs Dying Light 2: Combat

Yo subscribe 99.8k is a crime

Ah yes a human would infact be more of a challenge than zombies

Maybe dont swing blindly against sentient battle hardened and malicious bandits? Hold your ground, dodge, time swings, front kick to break chains. Humans fight like humans. For their life. Zombies fight like zombies. Like they dont have a life.

Even more RPG based BS

I like the combat in both, looking forwatd to the best. It looks like its gonna have more horror an scary settings an im all down for making the world feel more grim and dark an fk'd in general lol

🎉🎉❤

No matter what y’all say it’s just a guy running around hitting people and zombies with a stick

DL 2 was dreadful. Zombies didn’t even matter…nighttime meant nothing. Quests were repetitive and the story was DREADFUL

There needs to be a lot more gore i think thats what dl2 was missing

I like to think its how they differentiate between the two MC. Honestly when you play as Crane, he feels more like a powerhouse whereas Aiden, feels like a nimble assassin. For example, when you play with Crane (a trained GRE Agent), it feels like he just does more damage to whatever is in front of him, but aiden you have parkour attacks to help you take down your enemy..... but all this is wishful thinking and in reality techland just isnt consistent.

dl2 combat is way better, youre just fucking glazing at this point

Use a shield against the human enemies and parry them it feels so satisfying

You obviously aren't aware you can use your grapple hook to randomly humans and zombies in DL2. You can randomly anything except large zombies.

And you have obviously not played DL2 much, humans block just as often and more efficiently. The combat in DL1 was far easier overall too. I can melee 100 zombies in nm+ in about 2 minutes. In DL2 zombies on nm go from dying in 1 or 2 seconds, to several each for melee.

When it was a huge knockback upd on dying light 2, I drop kicked a zombie and they flew to the moon 😭😭😭

Human enemies in dl1 are actually pretty easy to deal with once you get the hang of it: Simply mix your melee attacks with throwables (1-2 swings before throwing 2-3 knives/ninja stars, rinse and repeat). To make it easier, use either ranged weapons (bow, crossbow, rifle, shutgun) each deal more damage from the previous and molotovs are great for crowd control in closed areas.

I think in dl2, the reason the zombies fights dont feel impactful is because techland animated the rebound of the weapon when striking an enemy qay too nuch, where as in dl1 the weapons usually follows through its path when used against the infected

Ik it MAY sound stupid but literally js take the first game and fix all the stuff that was wrong with it. Boom.

Zombie in DL2 have a very jungky hitbox, like i swear they got bigger hit box when ever they behind us, which me we get tanggle and stuck betwin them

most of my encounters in Dying Light 2 end with a shit ton of dead renegades 'cause I spam maxed out throwing knives to the head, so....

In dl2, human combat becomes entirely way too easy with a fully upgraded throwing knife. 90% of enemies will die with a single knife. I mean they do close to 1000 damage. At the same time, it’s the best way to deal with the zombies that scream and bring vitals, howlers I think they are called. Just a single knife and no screaming. Much quicker and easier than pulling out the bow.

Correction
You should play the first gane cuz you're gonna care about the story

When I played months after release combat was sooo much less satisfying than thr first game
Don't know avout newer updates

I love how my parkour zombie game with a focus on running away / out maneuvering Zombies turned into mordhau but 100x worse

Even on the easiest difficulties in Dying Light the human enemies simply have super saiyan ultra instinct

A 10 year old game vs like a 3 yro game

A 10 year old game vs like a 3 yro game

DL1 was pure magic. DL 2 did all the right stuff on paper but completely lost all the soul. All the magic. Tons of monsters every night that you can’t really avoid completely ruined the game the soul of the series.

I wish the zombie combat had better ragdolls I don’t understand why they would just downgrade such a massive part of the first game

I think i went to harsch on this game. I was furious about these changes of a really polished formula. I need to look at this at a different angle. I hope they manage to combine everything they learnd in the next game to give us a perfect experience.

I love both the first is the greatest zombie game ever . The second is the second best zombie game of alltime. Then dead island 2 comes in at 3 . I dont consider resident evil to be in the same catagory.

Why i use a shotgun

FINALLY a video that isn’t just ‘grrrrr dying light 2 is bad’

Idc what anybody says dl 1 is 10000% better than dl2

I still haven't finished dl1 story, but yeah, sector 0, humans everywhere that want to fight, i have the crusaders remorse and they just rather block or dodge when it seems like it should hit. So i just use molotovs since they survive arrows to the head

I agree with what you said about 1s combat being clunky and dodged with the humans, but it seems like dying light 2s combat system is all animation based and they just do the same thing everytime you hit em

I honestly really enjoyed the combat and having a “gun free” play through. But I felt like some of it didn’t make sense, surely someone would’ve thought to become a blacksmith or something and begin making actual weapons. Nothing major. But considering the peacekeepers are close to an “elite force” they wouldn’t be running around with random bits of pipe or broken signs.

Dude I fucking hate dying light.. like a game shouldn't be more frustrating than it is fun.. I'm about to go play a zombie game worth my time.. days gone

Human fight in DL 1 is realistic, seperates human combat from the zombie. DL2 looks lazy

Is there going to be a 3

Human combat should never be better that combat with the zombies in a zombie game dying light 1 is still the better game just based on that alone.

From what I've played in both games I'd say the consistency of dl2's combat feels better, I feel like playing dl1 without skills like stomp is extremely frustrating & annoying because of how most zombies will try to grab you after every melee attack if it hasn't knocked them down & it makes the experience irritating when a regular zombie needs more hits than most others before a full/more than half durability weapon kills it.

But lets be honest, both games are peak❤

You can block?

in dl1 if u aim a weapon at the rais's soldiers if its more than one they will try to take u by suprise by trying to attack ur back so thats cool

Dying light 1 is still better

Oh bro the parkour is vastly different too

Who knew hand to hand combat requires dodging amd constant moving.... bro you sound like a bithc which you probably are 100 percent 😂

The best thing about dl1 is hyper mode and kicking the zombies on to the orbit

For some reasons combat in DL2 feels soo bad compared to DL1.

Human combat in DL2: dodge, weave, strategize, use parkour attacks and your environment
